Kubernetes deployment scripts

You can use the script contained in this directory to generate and run Chainlens using Kubernetes.

Starting Chainlens

If you are running locally, you should first start minikube, then run the following script:

./chainlens-launch.sh http://<rpc-endpoint-ip>:<rpc-endpoint-port-number> 

Note: Port number is 8545 by default

You can verify the status of Chainlens by running:

kubectl get pods -n chainlens-explorer

Once all pods are available, proceed to the next step.

Start Proxy (If running local minikube)

Ensure minikube ingress is enabled, issuing the following command

minikube addons enable ingress

Start proxy service, issuing the following command

minikube service chainlens-proxy -n chainlens-explorer

❯ minikube service chainlens-proxy
